SAFETY MEASURES
Observe the Following Warnings:
◆ Always engage brake when vehicle is not in use.
◆ Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement be-
fore starting engine.
◆ The snowmobile engine can be stopped by activating the emer-
gency cut-out button, pulling the tether cord or turning off the key.
◆ Engine should be running only when belt guard and/or pulley
guard is secured in place. Never run the engine without drive belt
installed. Running an unloaded engine can prove to be dangerous.
◆ Never run the engine when the track is raised off the ground or
with the hood opened or removed.
◆ Maintain your snowmobile in top mechanical condition at all
times.
◆ Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets,
roads or highways. In most States and Provinces, it is considered
an illegal operation.
◆ Never charge or boost a battery while installed on snowmobile.
◆ Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings.
◆ Only perform procedures as detailed in this guide. Unless other-
wise specified, engine should be turned OFF and cold for all lubrication and maintenance procedures.
◆ The performance of some snowmobiles may significantly exceed
that of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by
novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.
◆ The engine and components used in a particular model should not
be used on other models. Use of Rotax
®
snowmobile engines in
other than Ski-Doo snowmobiles is not recommended or authorized by Bombardier Inc.
◆ Most components of this snowmobile are built with parts dimen-
sioned in the metric system. Most fasteners are metric and must
not be replaced by customary fasteners or vice versa.

1) Throttle Lever
Located on the right side of handlebar. When compressed, it controls
the engine speed and the engagement of the transmission. When
released, engine speed returns automatically to idle.
2) Brake Lever
Located on the left side of handlebar. When compressed, the brake
is applied. When released, it automatically returns to its original position. Braking effect is proportional to the pressure applied on the
lever and to the type of terrain and its snow coverage.
◆
Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will
cause an overheated brake system. This overheated condition could cause sudden loss of brakes and/or fire.
WARNING

3) Parking Brake Button
Located on left side of handlebar. Parking brake should be used
whenever snowmobile is parked.
Whenever parking brake is applied and engine is running, injection oil
level pilot lamp lights up to remind you that it is engaged.
-
Make sure parking brake is fully disengaged before operating
the snowmobile.
To engage mechanism, squeeze brake lever and maintain while pull-
ing locking lever with a finger. Brake lever is now compressed halfway applying brakes.
To release mechanism, squeeze brake lever. Locking lever will automatically return to its original position. Brake lever now returns to
rest position. Always release parking brake before riding.

CAUTION
◆
These snowmobiles are capable of a fast reverse. Always remain seated and apply the brake before shifting. Come to a
complete stop then change gear. Ensure the path behind is
clear of obstacles or bystanders. Turning while going fast in
reverse could result in loss of stability.
